No problem. I'll get over it, sooner or later. I hope
Try to approach it in pieces. Not the entirety but just getting out one chapter at a time. The more you have on the screen or paper, the easier it gets to forge ahead, in my experience. Also, sometimes crafting a detailed outline of your story can help motivate you.
Maybe. Many others have told me that, perhaps it can work... Thank you very much
Ps: I'm the one who posted the translations of your books' blurbs
Cintia - I've never suffered from writer's block either but a writing teacher of mine once told us (in her class) if ever she got stumped, to take out a fresh page (or screen, as the case may be) and write: "I remember the time when..." and then write about the first thing that comes to mind. Building your first sandcastle? Learning to swim at summer camp? Seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time? The last time you saw your grandmother? She said the point is to just write. Write anything. Any sort of prompt will do. A color. A fruit. A celebrity. A dress. Just as long as it kickstarts the words flowing.
